When we detect a Red Zone trigger &#8211; usually unfairness, confusion, reduced choice or a threat to our safety (physical, social, emotional), the more primitive but exceedingly more efficient parts of our brain come into play. This efficiency means that being in the Red Zone is a relatively easy thing to do. Worse, the intrusion [...]]]></description>

How aware are you of how you spend your attention? For most of us, we are little aware of where our attention goes on a minute-by-minute basis, let alone hour-by hour. Shame, given that our attention is, in my opinion, our most precious resource.
Attention, and it&#8217;s more effective sibling, focus, are the currency of engagement [...]]]></description>

What great movies about teachers come to mind? Dead Poet&#8217;s Society, Mr Holland&#8217;s Opus, and, strangely enough, School of Rock are some that people mention to me, and all have a consistent theme or storyboard:

The secret element of connection with another person is attention. Not just any attention &#8211; authentic attention on them for them.
